I think some sort of $ had to enter into the players hands given THEY are the product and labor force. However, this free for all Wild West of NIL is going to simply get more and more problematic and exploited. I hope some sort of sane regulation can enter into it. One of those “nice in theory but not in practice” things. Currently it is TOO ripe for exploitation. That said, I have no issue with the players getting their $. As for others manipulating the situation in regards to recruiting, transfer portal, etc…well those aspects I am not pleased with.

My biggest gripe is that there is no way for mediocre conference teams to compete. MAC for example. These teams will soon be better suited to compete in FCS than FBS.
That, and 99% of the players will not see any money, yet will be grinding it out at every practice just as hard as the 1% getting stupid amounts of money.

All good points too.

NCAA window for limited spring practices is open, so they’re all probably at it. About a month of practice and then the various “spring” scrimmage games.
